Mumbai Indians had a slow start in the IPL 2025 season but turned things around by winning six consecutive matches. Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar praised Hardik Pandya’s leadership, highlighting his ability to remain calm even after misfields and dropped catches. Mumbai Indians are currently fourth in the points table with two matches left in the league stage. Gavaskar also mentioned how the Mumbai crowd has gotten behind Pandya, a stark contrast from last year when they booed him. He emphasized Pandya’s composure on the field and credited it for Mumbai’s success. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings, despite being out of playoff contention, have shown promise with young replacement players. Suresh Raina suggested that investing in young talent is essential for the franchise’s future success. Gavaskar noted that MS Dhoni’s leadership has brought a spark to CSK despite the lack of favorable results. The IPL 2025 season was suspended briefly due to tensions between India and Pakistan, but will resume on May 17. Gavaskar commended overseas players who have committed to returning for the remainder of the tournament, showcasing their dedication to their respective franchises.
